Shownotes

Lauren Makhoul of Avalere Health returns for the second installment of The Corner Series Shorts to discuss rooting out bad actors in private equity. In this conversation with McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell, Lauren advocates for a “nuanced perspective” that addresses the loopholes allowing bad actors to exist. She explains how mechanisms such as single TIN-billing exploitation affect all healthcare providers, not just private equity-backed platforms, and why site-neutral payment policies could address underlying issues more effectively.

Tune in for her insights about how private equity-backed platforms often face heightened scrutiny while provider-owned businesses may engage in similar practices with less oversight.

A spinoff of The Corner Series, The Corner Series Shorts delivers quick, high-impact insights from dealmakers and thought leaders at the corner of healthcare and private equity. Each short episode — less than 10 minutes — offers a focused look at key trends, timely topics and expert perspectives.
